Possibly the same Irvine Douglas (q.v.) as the AustLit agent indexed for writing a travel piece, 'Tasmania for Trout', that appeared in The Home in 1932.

It is also possible that this author is the same Irvine Douglas who was a prominent newspaper editor. Further verification needed. The bio entry at the National Library of Australia reads: Mr Douglas, one of Australia's most distinguished journalists, was the Commonwealth Government publicity officer from 1934-1938 and was private secetary to Joseph Lyons from 1936-1938. He was also on the editorial staff of several Sydney newspapers and a member of the Australian Associated Press in London.
